He whole bag is mesh, it has a little "privacy" pocket that is solid material but it's small...it fits my daughters Samsung phone. Other than that it's mesh

Yes, the whole backpack is mesh except for a small pocket. The wet towel will make your back and clothes wet.

Yes it will. the bag is entirley mesh. if you get a Nike Mesh bag, although having a higher price, you will have a solid backing.

My has never really got wet. I have been caught in the rain.... with no damage to the contents of my backpack. However the marerial does seem like it would be at minimum resistant. Hope that helps.

To me it seems like an insulated fabric on the inside. I have spilled beans in it when traveling and simply hand washed the bag and laid it out to dry. I did have the towel in the bottom, but it sloshed out the lid of the pot. It washed up great. I love the bag and use it often. I plan on giving it to my sisters for Christmas.

It is a mesh material. Water does run off but if it doesn't you just tilt the chair. It seems to dry off quickly.

If the bag gets wet from rain it creates a moisture trap for everything on the inside. I had to throw some of my first aid kit away and it's a separate container made of the same nylon material and was inside a bag made by the same company with the same materials as this bag. There are no chemicals or anything to resist water from fogging up the inside of these bags. I'm still in the process of looking for a better bag.

Well, I've never actually brought it with me into the shower, I just use it to carry things to the shower (I live in a dorm with community bathrooms) but the black mesh part does not absorb water at all. The pink part will but I'm sure it won't take long to dry.

No, My computer and papers got wet in the rain although I carried it on my back during the rain because I was concerned about taking it through puddles. I'm not sure how it does with puddles, but it is just like any other back pack in the rain. If it soaks your clothes, it will soak your pack and everything in it. I used it for about 6 weeks until the wheels fell off (I had two different backpacks for about 3 weeks each, so its a design flaw, not a defect). It is spacious so you could just put your things in garbage bags to keep them dry

Hello! Mine has a non-mesh seat back. It's more of a harder, form fitting foam. Like a car seat.

It's synthetic, so when it gets dam, it does dry quickly. If you're looking for water resistance, I'd recommend pairing the bag with some type of lightweight bivy.

I would not consider this bag waterproof in any way..the divider has a "plastic" coating on the outside but is very on the top, the rest of the liner has a soft plushlike finish. I have never gotten this wet so have no idea of the outside. However I love the bag..while traveling in Europe last year I used the outside pocket for items that would normally be in my handbag (wallet in pants pocket)..it is very roomy... I have put my ipad between the liner and the back of the bag.. I carry one extra lens, mini tripod, extra battery...and whatever else gets shoved in...

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead.

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

I have accidentally left my bike out in the rain and I was able to towel dry it quickly so it doesn't retain water or get soaking wet. The fabric is not slippery when wet either so to be wet while riding it shouldn't be an issue. Hope this helps.

good question, my bag does not have a material tag but upon reexmanition it looks to me to me a mix of nylon outer shell stuck to a rubberized skin for water proffness it very sturdy and while not 50 percent sure about content I hope this gives you a better idea their good be several ways these were made depending which on you have

I have not had the bag in heavy rain or snow yet. It is not made out of plastic or material impervious to moisture but it's very well made and I'm guessing the heavy nylon it's made with would keep things dry inside.

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

The towel folds into something reasonable. If you want to know if its bulky, it's not. They are made out of a polyester and nylon blend. I love it. My mat is not drenched underneath maybe damp. I have tried a few brands and I like it the best so far
